85% of those killed in Bucha, whose bodies have already been removed from mass graves, have been shot. This indicates premeditated murder, not an accidental death.
Mayor of Bucha Anatoly Fedoruk stated this, informs ZN.ua.
"Almost 85% of all the bodies we raise from mass graves or individual burials in gardens, parks, squares, and yards have bullet holes. That is, a deliberate, premeditated murder occurred in Bucha," Fedoruk said at the national television marathon.
The exhumation of the bodies from the mass grave on the territory of the Church of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called is scheduled to be completed today, 15 April.
"We will complete this work: we will raise the bodies and send them to the morgue to carry out the relevant procedures, and relatives could get the bodies of the dead and bury them as they should be," Fedoruk said.
During the month of Bucha's occupation, the Russians also damaged more than 1,000 homes, including private homes and multi-story buildings. Everyone has a different level of destruction due to enemy shells.
According to Fedoruk, the panel houses where the shells were aimed were inspected by specialists from a leading Kyiv institute. It is too early to say that they may be restored.
Earlier, the Mayor said that out of 403 bodies of civilians killed by Russian troops during the occupation, 167 could be identified. The process of recognizing people by their relatives and friends is underway.
